He said company had, in 2019, began the articulation of strategies meant to drive vigorous expansion initiative, adding that the company would launch a five-year strategic plan to reposition the company to play a greater role in the wider healthcare industry and ensure good returns on investment for shareholders.

Explaining the strategic direction for 2020-2024, Managing Director, Neimeth International Pharmaceuticals Plc, Matthew Azoji, said the strategic focus of the company in years ahead is to initiate bold and gradual expansion initiative that would see the company increasing market share in the healthcare industry.
